B JOINT
The most common joint for sanding belts with cloth backing, the B-joint is an overlapping joint with compensation
on the abrasive side. This means that the joint area is free of
abrasive material which allows the cloth to overlap without
the joint having to be thicker than the rest of the belt. The
B-joint is also suitable for special paper products, such as
Mirka’s Ultimax.
A JOINT
Mostly used for sanding belts made from paper, an A-joint
is an overlapping joint without compensation on the
abrasive side, e.g. without interruption in the coating. It
produces a uniform sanding belt thickness, even across the
joint, and results in an even sanding finish without chatter
marks.
ANTISTATIC TREATMENT
The electrostatic charge generated when sanding with belts can generate large quantities of dust.
Using belts with an antistatic treatment prevents problems linked to dust and guarantees a better
work environment. Reducing the electrostatic charge of sanding machine belts provides a range of
benefits.
BENEFITS:
• Dust-free sanding provides better quality finishes.
• The machine remains free of dust, simplifying maintenance.
• Less dust in the work environment, for a more pleasant environment with better air quality.
It is important to note that abrasives can have different levels of antistatic properties. Some products
just use an antistatic material as the backer, while others also offer an antistatic bonding system. Dust
issues can also be significantly reduced by using an effective dust-extraction system.
